install pecl php,努力在Centos上安装PHP pecl

I'm trying to install the php_http PHP extension on my CentOS server.

I have done:

yum install php-pear

But get:

No package php-pear available

Yet I can do:

pear

And get a list of commands from Pear.

Same for yum install pecl. I can do pecl but pecl install pecl_http returns:

No releases available for package "pecl.php.net/pecl_http"

install failed

Yet /usr/bin/pecl isn't a directory that exists. Also a sudo pecl install pecl_http returns sudo: pecl: command not found, which I find quite odd.

I'm not entirely sure what's going on here/what I'm doing wrong.

edit: I am using the following repos:

base CentOS-6 - Base

epel Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux 6 - x86_64

extras CentOS-6 - Extras

rpmforge RHEL 6 - RPMforge.net - dag

updates CentOS-6 - Updates

vz-base vz-base

vz-updates vz-updates

解决方案

Step 1) import the REMI repo

CentOS 5

rpm -Uvh http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/5/i386/epel-release-5-4.noarch.rpm;

rpm -Uvh http://rpms.famillecollet.com/enterprise/remi-release-5.rpm;

CentOS 6

rpm -Uvh http://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/6/i386/epel-release-6-8.noarch.rpm;

rpm -Uvh http://rpms.famillecollet.com/enterprise/remi-release-6.rpm;

Step 2) install php-pear

yum --enablerepo=remi,remi-php55 install php-pear

Step 3) install pecl_http

pecl install pecl_http
